• Chuck’s Calendula

    Based on a photograph I took from this past summer’s Calendula. Grown from seed harvested from Chuck’s garden.

  • Gratitude

    This post is dedicated to all the gardeners I have met and their willingness to share their knowledge (and plants) with me. These Papaver flowers are from seeds grown by local poppy breeder, Joe Aasland – he sells his seeds at the Calgary Seedy Saturday in March. These images are reminders for me to pay it forward when I can.

  • Galanthus

    Galanthus nivalis is such a tiny flower and difficult to capture with a regular lens. I’ve been enjoying a surprising number of blossoms this spring, scattered about. In time I hope the plants will grow into larger clumps. Here are a couple of pictures of this beloved spring ephemeral.
